What do you think about trading for Galchenyuk? I imagine his trade value is lower right now than it ever has been because of how his coach/GM treats him in Montreal. Is that something Nill would do? (From Chris H.)

If the price was reasonable, this would make sense for Dallas. Alex Galchenyuk is a top-six forward entering the prime of his career and could provide 55+ points per season from the second line. As an added bonus he can play all three forward positions, so finding a proper fit when it comes to linemates wouldn’t be much of an issue.

He makes $4.9 million per year for the next two seasons, which is fair – especially if he can hit the aforementioned 55-point plateau on a consistent basis.

No matter how Galchenyuk has been treated, or the rumors that have swirled, it would be an expensive acquisition. Montreal lacks young puck-moving defenders after Victor Mete, and the Canadiens would likely want Julius Honka included in the deal.
